Nice place to come back to after a long day.

My wife and I stayed two nights at Candlewood while we were looking for real estate and we were very pleased. The hotel is conveniently situated between most of the area's shopping and businesses. The en suite kitchen had everything one would need for a short stay and the beds and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and eager to share area information. As with any hotel, I would advise booking a top floor if possible because of the the floor noise. The business center is located in the lobby and is easy to use. Overall, a good stay.More

I am so glad the two of you enjoyed your stay. In addition, you taking the time to compliment us means so much. Working at a hotel can be very demanding and times and we always appreciate folks who take a few moments to compliment us. I hope your real estate hunting went well. I have resided in Destin for 15 years and this IS the time to buy. If you don't do it now you will be kick'in yourself 5 years from now. Thanks again and please come back when you close on that real estate purchase! :)

Made reservations using Priority Club points (Platinum member). Upgraded for $10.00 per night to get a two bed room. Stayed for seven nights. At check-out the amount due was only $20.00 rather than the $70.00 I expected. Reason was I got a free upgrade for the nights that a room was available of the same type I was renting. In addition, the entire staff was friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the stay immensely. Highly recommend this hotel. Close to the beach and a short drive to many very good restaurants and outlet malls.

I truly enjoyed staying at the Candlewood Suites. The customer service was great...thanks staff members. This hotel is clean and neat. It is close to the shopping malls, Silver Sands & Destin Commons, including restaurants. I got a great discount rate from my job, so I got a great place to stay at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay. They have mini kitchen that consist of a stove, full size refrigerator, a laundry facility onsite, exercise room, business center as well as free internet access, outdoor pool, and gas grills.

I would like to say thanks to the staff that worked the week of March 15, 2010 for providing great customer service. I will definitely return to this hotel for my next stay in Destin, FL.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in January with our small dog. We had booked online about seven hours before arriving and were hoping that there would be no problems with checking in. We arrived around 2am, and were greeted warmly at a desk by a kind man (can't remember his name) who took the time, even at that hour of the morning, to explain the hotel's features. When we returned from a quick visit to the hotel's in house "convenience store," he was even waiting with local maps with state parks circled and advice on beaches we might be able to bring our dog to. Our room was comfortable, sparkling clean, and looked very new. The flatscreen TV was nice and we were always able to use the free wireless internet without difficulty or interruption. There is a tiny pool and pool area with some deck chairs and gas grills, but it was too cold for us to use them comfortably. The hotel was less than a five minute drive from the beach, but we went about 10 minutes west down 98 to Henderson Beach State Park to walk along the beautiful stretch of beach there.

The hotel was well equipped for a longer stay and had, as mentioned earlier, a tiny in-house convenience store with everything from toothpaste and dish soap to sandwiches and ice-cream. It worked on an honor system and was open 24 hours which was handy for late night snacks. There is also a Publix about 3 miles away. We really enjoyed Sushimoto next door, a family-run restaurant with both classic sushi choices and daily specials. The sushi was tasty and fresh and service was friendly and efficient.

The hotel was also very pet-friendly with a small space behind the hotel for walking pets, complete with bags and a disposal station. If you are not a pet lover, you will also be comfortable as pets are restricted to the ground floor rooms.

Overall, the attractive, clean rooms, helpful staff, and on-site conveniences provided a great value for us and we will definately stay with Candlewood Suites on future visits to Destin.
